Chapter 1 - Prologue

. Core Concept & Unique Selling Points

· Genre: Modern Cultivation/Apocalyptic Progression Fantasy

· Hook: A modern-day orphan awakens the only dual Primordial-grade legacy on Earth just as interdimensional invasion begins.

· Unique Blend:

· System Apocalypse + Cultivation + Mythological Pantheons + Multiverse Warfare

· Sword-based progression fused with the Dao of Destruction

· Integration of global mythologies (Norse, Greek, Christian, Hindu, etc.) as actual powers/entities from higher planes

2. Worldbuilding Framework

A. The Multiverse & Planes (9 Grades)

1. Mortal Plane (Earth) – Grade 1, no mana until The Awakening (Dec 18, 2025)

2. Elemental Planes (Fire, Water, etc.) – Grades 2-3

3. Mythic Planes (Asgard, Olympus, Underworld) – Grades 4-6

4. Celestial/Divine Planes – Grades 7-8

5. Primordial Chaos Plane – Grade 9 (source of all primordial bloodlines)

B. Power Systems

· Mana System: Ambient energy that allows magic, skills, and system interfaces.

· Cultivation System: Internal refinement of body, mind, and soul—used by higher-plane beings.

· Integration: Earthlings start with "System-assisted" growth but can later cultivate traditionally.

· Tier-Level Framework:

Each of the 9 Tiers has 100 levels.

Breaking through each Tier requires a "Dao Revelation" or a "Bloodline Awakening."

C. Bloodlines & Physiques

· 9 Primordial Bloodlines: Destruction, Creation, Time, Space, Life, Death, Order, Chaos, Fate.

· 9 Primordial Physiques: War, Void, Titan, Phoenix, Dragon, etc.

· Ryton's Combo: Primordial Destruction Bloodline + Primordial War Physique = Unmatched combat growth, but at a cost (urge to destroy, targeted by gods).

3. Character Arc – Ryton Dragonheart

· Early (Ch 1–200): Orphan in NYC, works as a bike courier. Awakens during first "Mana Tide." Struggles to control power, hunted by early invaders and human factions.

· Mid (Ch 200–1200): Rises as Earth's champion, ascends to higher planes, learns sword arts from masters across realms (e.g., a cursed samurai ghost, a dwarf runesmith, an elven blademaster).

· Late (Ch 1200–2200): Leads coalition against the 9th Plane's rulers (ancient primordial beings). Discovers the truth behind the Awakening—it was a defense mechanism created by the last Primordial War-Bearer eons ago.

Ryton's Enhanced Character Profile

Narcissistic with Heart

· Divine Charm: His Primordial bloodline gives him unnatural charisma—people are instinctively drawn to him, while enemies feel an odd mixture of attraction and terror.

· Funny Narcissism:

"Of course the portal opened above me. The multiverse has good taste in protagonists."

"My hair looks fabulous even while slaying demons. It's a gift, really."

· Goofy/Sarcastic Moments:

· Tries to name his attacks ridiculous things ("Sword of Sparkly Doom" as a joke, then actually summons it).

· Teaches his dwarf friend Grom "Earth memes" that spread across realms.

· Gets into witty banter with Thor about whose lightning is flashier.

· Deep Loyalty: Will burn entire realms for his friends but pretends it's "just convenient villain removal."

Academy & Sect Arcs Integration

Arc 1.5: The Earth Awakened Academy (Ch 150–300)

· After initial invasions, Earth's governments and surviving mythic beings establish "Sanctum Academies" worldwide.

· Ryton's Academy: Olympus-Britannia Sanctum (London-based, run by a coalition of surviving Greek gods and British mages).

· Funny Elements:

· Ryton constantly breaks "record" crystals because his Primordial energy overloads them.

· He starts a "Sword Appreciation Club" that accidentally becomes Earth's most powerful duelist group.

· Mock rivalry with the "Elitist Faction" of rich awakened kids—he trolls them by being effortlessly better.

· Key Academy Characters:

· Professor Merlin (actually the real Merlin, very tired of "chosen ones").

· Chloe – Overachiever who becomes Ryton's friendly academic rival.

· Dean Odin (disguised as a one-eyed professor, observing Ryton).

Arc 2.3: The Celestial Dojo (Ch 500–650)

· In Asgard's higher realm, there's "Valhalla's Crucible"—a warrior academy where even gods train.

· Ryton enrolls to master his physique (pretends to be "just a talented mortal").

· Humorous Scenes:

· He starts a "cultivation workout trend" that spreads across realms (#SwordSwole).

· Gets into a prank war with Loki's children.

· Training: Learns to merge his Destruction Dao with Asgardian battle arts.

Arc 3.2: The Primordial Sect Wars (Ch 850–1000)

· In the higher "Xianxia Planes," massive sects have existed for millennia.

· The Heavenly Sword Sect accepts Ryton when they detect his sword talent (they don't know about his bloodline).

· Sect Politics:

· Ryton climbs from outer to core disciple while sarcastically navigating "young master" tropes.

· "Senior Sister" archetype falls for his charm—he awkwardly friendzones her because he's loyal to Liora.

· Discovers the sect's hidden dark secret: they're harvesting primordial descendants.

· Comic Relief: Ryton introduces "democracy" and "employee feedback forms" to the ancient sect, causing bureaucratic chaos.

Arc 4.1: The Nine Primordial Legacy Academy (Ch 1300–1400)

· Hidden plane where all 9 Primordial heirs are gathered to train together (some are allies, some enemies).

· School Dynamics:

· Think "My Hero Academia" meets "X-Men" with godlike powers.

---

Power Progression in Academies

· Rankings: Outer Disciple → Inner Disciple → Core Disciple → Elder → Sect Master.

· Exams: Dungeon raids, sparring tournaments, pill refining contests (Ryton fails alchemy spectacularly).

· Rewards: Spirit stones, divine artifacts, ancient manuals Ryton often improves sarcastically ("This technique is inefficient, here's 10 better versions").

---

Key Relationships in Academy/Settings

1. Mentor: Elder Bai (Arc 3)

· Grumpy swordmaster who pretends to hate Ryton but secretly dotes on him.

· Funny Dynamic: Constantly complains Ryton is "too pretty for a swordsman" while teaching him lethal techniques.

2. Rival/Friend: Zhang Wei

· Talented commoner from the sect who initially envies Ryton's talent, becomes his loyal friend.

· Running Gag: Zhang Wei keeps trying to get Ryton to be more humble, fails spectacularly.

3. Romantic Subplot: Liora's Visits

· Liora visits Ryton's academies occasionally, causing gossip ("Who's the elven princess?").

· Ryton shows off for her like a peacock, then acts casual ("This old thing? Just a realm-shattering technique I invented yesterday").

Sample Chapter Concept: "Ryton vs. The Entrance Exam"

Chapter 156: Ryton takes the "Trials of Seven Realms" exam at Olympus-Britannia.

· Task 1: Kill 100 goblins. Ryton does it with style, posing after each kill.

· Task 2: Solve ancient puzzle. He brute-forces it with Destruction energy, then claims "I solved the deeper metaphysical meaning."

· Task 3: Interview with gods. He charms Athena, annoys Ares, and gets top marks.

· Climax: Bullies try to sabotage him—he "accidentally" redirects their trap to make them dance embarrassingly.

· End: Offered special "Troublemaker Class" because "you're too powerful for regular courses, but we need to keep an eye on you."
